Harry Belafonte Disappointed with Obama

Harry Belafonte, at 84 years old, he is still making headlines.

On Thursday, CNN talked with the actor/humanitarian/activist at the Television Critics Association Tour in Beverly Hills. He was promoting his upcoming HBO documentary “Sing Your Song," which chronicles his amazing career and work alongside many notable civil rights activists.

During the interview he was very expressful on President Obama and the current budget impasse.

“There has never been such a void in moral truth as it now exists,” Belafonte said. “And what the expectation has been for many of us was that Barack Obama would bring to the table a great sense of moral fortitude. I think were he to apply that in the decisions that he would have to make, he would find that his presidency might touch on a level of greatness that he has not yet considered.”

He also added, "He (Obama) has only listened to the voices that shout the loudest, and it’s all those reckless right-wing forces. It’s almost criminal.”

This isn't the first time Belafonte openly criticized the Obama administration. Last year, he spoke at a “One Nation Working Together” rally and criticized the administration’s response to the war in Afghanistan.

Belafonte's documentary debuts October 17th on HBO.
